Savings Goals

Automated Savings Goal Tracking API

Savings goals fail without tracking and momentum. Fiskil monitors account balances and transactions to track savings progress, recommend optimal contributions, and keep users motivated.

Savings Goals are Set But Not Achieved

People set savings goals but struggle to track progress and maintain momentum without dedicated tools.

  • No automated tracking of savings progress

  • Difficult to know if saving enough to meet goals on time

  • Manual calculations required to adjust contribution amounts

  • Lack of motivation when goals feel far away

  • Easy to abandon goals when not actively tracking

Multi-Goal Tracking

Contribution Recommendations

Calculate optimal monthly contributions needed to reach goals by target date.
